Definitely go with the one that you like the feel of - the Casio. Having more sounds can easily be accommodated in a couple of ways: 1. hook up the DP to a computer and use software instruments to play other sounds 2. get a small keyboard that has

I have one of Jason Kanter's graphs of the 18th Century temperament, by the way but I will have to post it later. I have to go now and will be out all day. Like I said, it is very close to Thomas Young but slightly irregular from its perfect symmet

For very adequate recrording, the H2n or its equivalent works extremely well and is inexpensive. Don't be put off by the response curve below 100Hz. It is still good enough given that pianos, even concert grands, produce almost no sound below 60Hz.

I'm embarrassed to say that I have not really been at the piano from 11/22 to now. I left on the 22nd to go to my son's house for Thanksgiving. Stayed until the following Monday (no piano in the house), and came home sick, catching whatever upper re

The course has 4 lesson books and 4 supplementary books with extra music. While you do learn to play what's in the books, the real meat of the course is learning to enhance the music that's written. You could get through the course in a year if you t

The Forte 7 uses the Fatar TP40L - a lighter version of the TP40H action. @cphollis: For me, and for a few others traveling a lot, a shorter version of a heavier action would make a lot of sense, mostly for having a portable action that satisfies p

I will try the ATX system as well tomorrow at the dealers (they've got it in a GL), although I understood that it's only (factory)installed in the GL/GX2-series and not in the SK-series. I didn't find the action to be heavy, but I'll try again tom

Thank you all for the replies! As you all seem to be playing 1215 I'll give that a try too. I don't want to smooth things out, but play it as convenient and as efficient as possible. I wonder though, do you also not change fingers when the left ha

I had one when I started. First 3 months of note reading, after that 1 year Czerny excercises, without 1 single piece... After repeadetly asking for some easy pieces, I changed teacher. Sure I have learnded from it, but I wasn't coming home and be ea
